CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0015678, filed on Feb. 11, 2016, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the content of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to an organometallic compound, an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound, and a diagnosis composition including the organometallic compound.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, and short response times. OLEDs also exhibit excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer that is disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Luminescent compounds, for example, phosphorescent luminescent compounds may be used to monitor, sense, or detect biological materials, such as cells or proteins.

Various types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with FIGURE which is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly in contact with the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

In Formula 1, X₁ may be O or S, X₂ may be C, and X₃ and X₄ may be N. Therefore, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) may be effectively separated within a molecule of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, thereby improving efficiency of an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device including the compound represented by Formula 1.

That is, T₃ in Formula 1 may not be a single bond. Therefore, a self-quenching reduction group may be introduced to Formula 1 (that is, T₃ in Formula 1 may act as the self-quenching reduction group), thereby reducing a roll-off ratio of an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device including the compound represented by Formula 1, and improving efficiency thereof.

For example, the HOMO, the LUMO, a singlet (Si) energy level, and a triplet (T₁) energy level of Compounds 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 36, 44, and 66 and Compounds A and B below were evaluated by using a Gaussian program density functional theory (DFT) method (the structure was optimized at B3LYP, 6-31G(d,p) level).

Synthesis methods of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Synthesis Examples provided below.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is suitable for use in an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, for example, for use as a dopant in an emission layer of the organic layer. Thus, another aspect provides an organic light-emitting device that includes:

a first electrode;

a second electrode; and

an organic layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode,

wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer and at least one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1.

The organic light-emitting device may have, due to the inclusion of an organic layer including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, low driving voltage, high efficiency, high power, high quantum efficiency, a long lifespan, a low roll-off ratio, and excellent color purity.

The organometallic compound of Formula 1 may be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device. For example, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be included in the emission layer. In this regard, the organometallic compound may act as a dopant, and the emission layer may further include a host (that is, an amount of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is smaller than an amount of the host).

The expression that “(an organic layer) includes at least one organometallic compound” as used herein may refer to an embodiment in which “(an organic layer) includes identical organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1 and an embodiment in which (an organic layer) includes two or more different organometallic compounds represented by Formula 1.

For example, the organic layer may include only Compound 1 as the organometallic compound. In this regard, Compound 1 may be included only in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In one or more embodiments, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, Compound 1 and Compound 2. In this regard, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may be included in the same layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 2 all may be included in an emission layer).

The first electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode; or the first electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode, and the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.

For example, regarding the organic light-emitting device, the first electrode may be an anode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, and the organic layer may further include a hole transport region disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, and the hole transport region may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, or any combination thereof, and the electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or any combination thereof.

The term “organic layer” as used herein refers to a single layer and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode of the organic light-emitting device.

Hereinafter, the structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment will be described in connection with FIGURE. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19, which are sequentially stacked in this stated order.

A substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. For use as the substrate, any substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices may be used, and the substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate, each having excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water-resistance.

The first electrode 11 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode 11 on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for forming the first electrode 11 may be selected from materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection.

The material for forming the first electrode 11 may be, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), and zinc oxide (ZnO). In one or more embodiments, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used as the material for forming the first electrode 11.

Evaluation Example 1: Evaluation on Characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Devices

The driving voltage, luminescence efficiency, power efficiency, color purity, quantum efficiency, roll-off ratio, and lifespan (T₉₅) of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated. Results thereof are shown in Table 2. A current-voltage meter (Keithley 2400) and a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A) were used as evaluation devices. The lifespan (T₉₅) (at 6,000 nit) was evaluated as a period of time taken until the luminance was reduced to 95% of initial luminance. The roll-off ratio was calculated using Equation 20: Roll-off ratio={1−(efficiency (at 9,000 nit)/maximum emission efficiency)}×100%.  Equation 20
